Grrrrrrrr .....

Okay, so I am 4 weeks/2 days and feeling frustrated. Putting up pics, but one breast skin healing so much better than the other. My breast sizes are the same, the only difference is the breast I am experiencing a lot more skin wrinkling in had fluid post op, but by two weeks had all absorbed into my body. So does that make my healing delayed on that side? I know 4 weeks can still be early to judge, but the fact my right breast skin does not wrinkle and look as empty is what is worrying me. If anybody has any wisdom please I beg you, enlighten me!!!
I am still struggling with wanting my husband to find me sexy. When I lay down I have zero breast to hold and since with implants this was something he liked to do, now him having arm straight on bed during snuggling verses holding chest feels awkward to me. I know I don't have anything to really hold, but I still want him to. Husband says all the right words, it's those body language moments that fuels sadness and needed approval by him.
Just to be clear though, I am still 100% so happy I removed them. Two only regrets is that I got them to begin with and that I let fear delay removing them for as long as I did...

3 weeks, 4 days!!!

Okay, so good news, my skin is shrinking !!! In the mirror and pictures they look the same, but for me, I can feel the difference. I can't grab and pinch as much skin like after the surgery. I wear the compression bra at night and I have under boob, almost like the shape of my breast is getting better defined and maybe lifting up? Those first few weeks in compression bra this was definitely not happening.

And the other recent win, when I bend down my breasts look basically the same. After surgery and up until the last several days even, if I bent down it was loose skin and very saggy, almost like breast tissue not attached to the wall. (If this makes any sense). Sorry I didn't take a picture because that was just a really bad sight. I will add the pic of tonight bending over to see at least for those that might not have had surgery yet or in early weeks, for me it resolved, so don't freak out as I did. Being patient and time, is just not my strong personality trait.

I did buy a wireless bra at Victoria which I really like, it was the only one that fits nice on me. I also didn't want to go crazy and buy a lot of bras as I read some women's sizes change after the first couple months. I found a lot of the bras made me have armpit extra skin or fat? I am fairly petite, so I don't know if that is still extra skin that needs shrinking and will improve? Or just a really ill fitting bra? Or I just need to start exercising those arms more. Any advise here will be greatly appreciated!!!

All the best to the women out there going through this!


Two weeks post op today

I am two weeks post op today and thought I would share an update, feels very therapeutic to write. I am so light and cozy not having a big heavy chest, almost all my clothes fit better. Their is something more sexy about just being me, even with a small chest. In the morning I feel my boobs look the best and in some lighting WAY better than others, especially holding a good posture. I still have a yellow bruise on my left breast, hoping this goes away soon. My breast skin also has very large gross pores up close more visible at night. Hoping this is just temporary or because I have been living in sports bras? I still have not attempted to buy regular bras, hoping for more skin retraction. My scars under my nipple are healing but up close don't look pretty at all. I have a small amount of liquid build up in my left breast I can tell because when I push it down I hear it. My left/right size look the same and I don't hear it unless I push in circular motion on top of the tissue. My Doctor believes my body will absorb in time, hoping this is true. I believe strongly in natural remedies, so I have put lemon, cucumber, olive oil, ice cubes on my breasts at different points, tonight will try egg white. Supposedly they help will saggy skin and it's my way to feel I can contribute to my end results. I made a chicken bone broth soup last week which has collagen. If anybody has any tips or tricks, please share !!!
